The press conference for Ridley Scott‘s sort-of Alien prequel Prometheus is going on right now and the debut of footage from the movie will take place shortly in Hall H at Comic Con. But we’ve got this first image right now. What is it? Rather difficult to tell, though I expect once we’ve seen footage in motion we’ll understand the context a little bit more. See a much larger, more complete version after the break.

So what planet is this on, and who’s in the suit? We don’t know. Answers coming soon. After a long, possibly spoilerish plot description came out not long ago, Fox released this official take on the film, but it probably won’t tell you much more:

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.
